Latino is a compilation of emerging young talents from Latin America.
It brings together the visual ruminations of a new generation of artists
and designers who belong to a Latin American culture of the streets,
beaches, music and drugs, with the beauty of a truly mixed race and
a capacity to absorb cultural trends and the aesthetics of a so-called
“first world”. Rejection or acceptance, their work moves
from favelas, razor blades, wrestlers, priests, runes and B-movie
themes to imported North American culture. Latino aims to fill a void
in this visually uncharted sub continent. Compiled by Venezuelan designer
Miguel Vasquez (MASA), this is not your typical trilingual compilation:
a CD-Rom carries fonts, icons, movies and music. Chaotic beauty with
a Latin flavour, Latino is both a comprehensive, well-rounded epic
and a very affordable, funky selection to showcase and support the
local scene.
